UNCASVILLE, CT (April 4, 2019) – Ozzy Osbourne will postpone all his 2019 tour dates, inclusive of shows in North America and Europe, as he recovers from an injury sustained while dealing with his recent bout of pneumonia. The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductee and Grammy-winning singer and songwriter and 2019 Grammy “Special Merit Award” recipient fell at his Los Angeles home aggravating years-old injuries (from his 2003 ATV accident) that required surgery last month. Osbourne will remain under doctor’s care in Los Angeles as he recovers. Mohegan Sun Arena’s reschedule date will be Saturday, June 20, 2020. Special guest Marilyn Manson is joining Ozzy for the North American shows.
Says Ozzy: “I can’t believe I have to reschedule more tour dates. Words cannot express how frustrated, angry and depressed I am not to be able to tour right now. I’m grateful for the love and support I’m getting from my family, my band, friends and fans, it’s really what’s keeping me going. Just know that I am getting better every day…I will fully recover…I will finish my tour…I will be back!”
The shows will be rescheduled beginning in February 2020 and concert-goers are being asked to hold onto their original tickets, as they will be honored for the rescheduled dates.

Performing at Mohegan Sun Arena on Sunday, July 21st
UNCASVILLE, CT (April 2, 2019) – Elvis Costello & The Imposters and Blondie will co-headline a coast-to-coast tour this summer. The 13-city tour will make a stop at Mohegan Sun Arena on Sunday, July 21st at 7:00pm.
Tickets are $75.00, $55.00 and $35.00 and go on sale Saturday, April 6th at 10:00am through Ticketmaster. Ticketmaster customers may log on to Ticketmaster.com or call Ticketmaster’s national toll free Charge By Phone number 1.800.745.3000. Tickets will also be available at the Mohegan Sun Box Office beginning on Sunday, April 7th at 10:00am, subject to availability.
Elvis Costello’s wide-ranging recording career began in 1977 with the release of My Aim Is True in a catalogue that include such diverse highlights as This Year’s Model, Get Happy, Imperial Bedroom, King Of America, Blood & Chocolate, The Juliet Letters with the Brodsky Quartet, The River In Reverse with Allen Toussaint and Wise Up Ghost with The Roots.
Elvis Costello & The Imposters’ widely renowned Look Now was released in 2018 and of which Variety said, “It’s so funny to be seeing him, after all this time, making a great cake of an album that doesn’t really sound that much like any of the 30 before it.” The catalogue will soon include the E.P., Purse, containing songwriting collaborations with Burt Bacharach and Paul McCartney and musical settings of lyrics by Johnny Cash and Bob Dylan.
Since the release of their self-titled debut album in 1976, Blondie has brought the worlds of Rock, Punk, Disco and Ska together and racked up four indelible Billboard Hot 100 #1 hits – “Heart of Glass,” “Call Me,” “The Tide Is High” and “Rapture ” – as well as six #1s on the UK Singles Chart including “Maria,” “Sunday Girl” and “Atomic.” Debbie Harry – genre-spanning visionary, complex songstress, incandescent front woman and style icon – and the band’s boundary-pushing Pop have shaped the look and sound of many chart-topping female artists who have followed and have made Blondie widely recognized as one of the most influential bands of our time.
Ever the bona fide international ambassadors of New York cool, Blondie – vocalist-songwriter Debbie Harry, guitarist and co-writer Chris Stein, powerhouse drummer Clem Burke, and long-time band members bassist Leigh Foxx, guitarist Tommy Kessler and keyboardist Matt Katz-Bohen – has become and still remains a true national treasure; one whose influence both shaped and continues to inform the worlds of music, fashion, art and pop culture. Blondie’s chart-topping success, fearless spirit and rare longevity led to an induction into the Rock ‘N’ Roll Hall of Fame in 2006, a NME Godlike Genius Award in 2014, a Q Award for Outstanding Contribution to Music in 2016, and more than 50 million albums sold worldwide to date.
Mohegan Sun Arena is now ranked consistently among the top venues in the world according to Billboard Magazine, Pollstar and Venues Now. Mohegan Sun Arena is consistently ranked among the top three “Arenas in the World for its Size” and top 15 in the “World for All Size Venues.” The award-winning venue is the “#1 Casino Venue in the World,” “#1 Social Media Venue in the World” and a seven-time national award-winner for “Arena of the Year.” For more information on concerts and other great events, visit Mohegan Sun.

These achievements add to an already monumental year for Combs, whose breakthrough debut album, This One’s For You, is now certified RIAA double Platinum. Since its release on June 2, 2017, the album has spent a total of 29 non-consecutive weeks at #1 on the Billboard Country Albums chart, including 16 weeks in 2018, making it the highest selling Country album last year with 1.1 million equivalent album units sold and the only Country album to surpass 1 million album units. It’s also the most-streamed Country album of 2019 so far. Additionally, Combs was recently named “Country Artist of the Year” at the 2019 iHeartRadio Music Awards, “New Artist of the Year” at the 52nd Annual CMA Awards, was nominated for “Best New Artist” at the 61st Grammy Awards and was the recipient of a CMA “Triple Play Award” for writing three #1 songs in a 12 month period.

UNCASVILLE, CT (March 27, 2019) – Mohegan Gaming & Entertainment (MGE) 
has signed an agreement with Kambi Group plc to provide online and on-property betting products to MGE’s signature U.S. integrated entertainment resort located in Connecticut.
Following a competitive process, MGE selected Kambi in part due to its track-record of lawful and responsible delivery in the U.S., including the quality and flexibility of its sports wagering products, trading and risk management capabilities and unrivalled speed to market – both online and on-property.
Since the repeal if the federal sports betting ban in the U.S. last May, Kambi has built a leading position in two of the largest states to have regulated thus far; New Jersey and Pennsylvania, as well as processing the historic first legal online wager in the country outside of Nevada.
While sports wagering has yet to be regulated on an intrastate basis in Connecticut, Mohegan Sun supports pending state legislation to legalize the activity as early as this year. Under existing tribal-state agreements between the Mohegan Tribe and the State of Connecticut and similar agreements with the other federally recognized tribe in the state, commercial casino games are operated exclusively by the two federally recognized tribes.
In the meantime, the Kambi Sportsbook will be integrated into Mohegan Sun’s iPro gaming platform to power a free-to-play sportsbook, enabling Mohegan Sun guests to familiarize themselves with the Kambi product ahead of a regulated real-money launch.
Due to the uncertain regulatory timetable, Kambi is unable to guide on what impact, if any, the deal will have on its 2019 revenues, however, the strategic alliance is expected to generate material income in future years.
Kristian Nylén, Kambi Chief Executive Officer, said, “Kambi’s strategy in the US is to partner with the biggest and best gaming operators each state has to offer. In Mohegan Sun, not only have we partnered with one of the two largest casinos in Connecticut, but also one of the leading gaming and entertainment destinations across the whole of the country.”
Aviram Alroy, VP of Interactive Gaming for Mohegan Gaming & Entertainment, said; “Mohegan Sun’s goal is to utilize our brand and strong presence in the state and after a long vetting process, we found that Kambi was best positioned to complement that, as they’re the most sophisticated and comprehensive Sportsbook out there.
“That, along with a highly experienced and responsive team, placed Kambi well above the competition in the selection of a sports betting strategic partner in Connecticut.”

Mohegan Sun First In U.S. To Have GameCo’s Riches of the Golden Dragon Video Game Gambling™ Machines!
UNCASVILLE, CT (March 26, 2019) – Mohegan Sun is excited to announce a big
addition to the gaming floor in Casino of the Earth. The newest Video Game Gambling™ title, Riches of the Golden Dragon, from innovative gaming company, Gameco LLC, is now live near Season’s Buffett at Mohegan Sun. The three new machines at Mohegan Sun mark the first roll-out of this game in the United States!
“Providing entertaining and unique gaming experiences across our beautiful casinos at Mohegan Sun is always something we are focused on,” said Ray Pineault, President & General Manager of Mohegan Sun. “Being the first entertainment destination to launch GameCo’s Riches of the Golden Dragon, not only in the Northeast but in the United States, is something we’re very excited to rollout for guests,”
Riches of the Golden Dragon features Video Game Gambling™. To start, players will be presented with three dragon tiles and within each there is a reveal of either an immediate cash reward, tokens that can be used in Mini-Games, or a chance at a Bonus Round or Mini-Game. The Bonus Round and Mini-Games are where skill comes in to play and also where tokens earned up to that point, can be used to instantly win cash inside a mini-game. In some cases, a selected tile will take players directly to a fun Mini-Game like the “Melt Coins,’ where players melt falling coins, while avoiding falling rocks, with an electric current by pressing the corresponding buttons. There is also a “Match Dragons” mini-game, where players use the buttons on the deck to match three of the same type of dragon on screen at one time. The Mini-Games provide players with a return to player (RTP) of 100% or more when playing optimally. At any point too, the initial selection among three tiles can reveal an immediate progressive jackpot win up to $5,000!
“The Pick and Win play style provides a really unique gaming experience and we are thrilled to have Mohegan Sun as our first launch partner”, said Blaine Graboyes, Founder and CEO GameCo LLC. “Mohegan Sun’s commitment to providing the newest and best experiences to their guests makes it an ideal location for our debut.”
